How To Use Levels Health

Getting Started (2 minutes)

Go to levelshealth.com and choose your membership: Classic (glucose tracking only), Core (glucose + essential labs), or Complete (glucose + comprehensive labs + coaching).
Order your Levels kit. It includes a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) - a small sensor you stick on the back of your arm.
When the kit arrives, download the Levels app and create your account.
Apply the CGM sensor to your upper arm (it's painless - takes 5 seconds). It stays on for 14 days and tracks your blood sugar 24/7.
Scan the sensor with your phone. The Levels app shows your glucose in real-time - you'll see a graph that updates every few minutes.
Eat a meal, go for a walk, or take a nap. Watch how your blood sugar responds. The app gives you a "score" for each activity and explains what's happening.

Try these to learn what affects your glucose.

Breakfast test: Eat your normal breakfast (say, oatmeal). Check your glucose spike. Next day, eat eggs and avocado. Compare the graphs. You'll see which keeps you stable and which sends you on a rollercoaster.
Walk after meals: Eat dinner, then take a 15-minute walk. Your glucose spike will be noticeably smaller than if you just sat on the couch. Levels quantifies it.
Sleep quality check: Levels tracks glucose overnight. If you see big swings while you sleep, it might explain why you wake up groggy. Try eating earlier or cutting late-night snacks.
Coffee experiment: Black coffee vs. coffee with sugar vs. coffee with cream. See which one spikes you (spoiler: it's not always the one you expect).

Don't obsess over every spike. Your glucose will go up after you eat. That's normal. What matters is how high it goes and how fast it comes back down.
Use the meal logging feature. Take a photo of your food and tag it. Over time, you'll see patterns - like "pasta always spikes me but rice doesn't."
Get the coaching if you're serious. The Complete plan includes 1-on-1 calls with a health coach who reviews your data and gives you personalized advice. Worth it if you're trying to reverse prediabetes or improve performance.

Diagnosing diabetes. Levels is for metabolic health optimization, not medical diagnosis. If you think you have diabetes, see a doctor first.
Short-term fixes. You need at least a month of data to see real patterns. One week isn't enough.
